Do you have hair growing in places it’s not supposed to? Would you rather not worry about shaving, waxing, plucking or using messy creams that can burn or irritate your skin? We’re experts at eliminating unwanted hair. Using our state-of-the-art, FDA approved laser; we can stop unwanted hair at its roots. You’ll be amazed not only at how much time and effort you can save, but also how much discomfort can be eliminated, by getting rid of unwanted hair.
Laser hair removal works by sending a beam of laser light to a group of hair follicles with enough power to disable or destroy the root, but not enough power to harm the surrounding skin. The Laser beam finds the hair follicles by targeting melanin. This is the substance that gives skin and hair dark color. This process is called selective photothermolysis. Photo means light and thermolysis means destroying with heat. It is selective because it targets only the hair and not the skin. Also to protect the surrounding skin it is usually cooled during treatment. Some methods include a gel, a spray, or a cooling tip.
The ideal candidate for laser has dark hair and light skin. The laser will not work on anyone with red, white, gray or true blonde hair. The laser light will also be attracted to the melanin in the skin, so individuals with a suntan, or dark skin types are at more of a risk for discoloration of pigment and other side effects.
